Important Team Information
At Borinquen Volleyball Academy, our 18U National program helps committed athletes refine their game as they prepare for opportunities beyond youth club volleyball. We focus on advanced positional skills, team strategy, leadership, and competitive discipline while encouraging accountability and consistent performance.
Rules
Athletes and families are expected to uphold good sportsmanship and demonstrate a strong commitment to practices and tournaments. Players should arrive prepared, maintain consistent effort, respect coaches, teammates, and officials, and communicate scheduling conflicts promptly.
Lodging / Hotels
For travel tournaments, families are responsible for lodging and meals. Hotel blocks and booking instructions will be shared when available. Families must follow any tournament-required hotel booking procedures.
Disclaimer: The 18U Regional team may be upgraded to a National Team based on tryout performance. If upgraded, fees will increase from $3150 (Regional) to $3500 (National) to cover tournaments and coaches travel only, no additional training sessions will be added.
